WHOLE BODY OPTIMIZATION
BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY
For far too long, conventional medicine has taught aging, accompanied with its life altering symptoms, is inevitable and that those symptoms cannot be alleviated, quality of life regained. Fortunately, Science has now identified aging as a Disease. One of the most important preventive treatments is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy or BHRT. Extensive medical research collected worldwide now pinpoints age related hormone deficiency is no different than hormonal imbalances of a younger person and thus, can be treated as such.

Hormone Therapies are designed to restore hormone balance and alleviate frustrating, life altering symptoms. But what is the difference between Bioidentical and Synthetic Hormones? Bioidentical hormones are exactly that - identical in chemical structure - to hormones naturally occurring within the body. They are professionally compounded in a sterile lab, by an experienced compounding pharmacist. Bioidentical hormones are made from natural substances (mainly plant based) and the pharmacist prepares customized doses depending on the prescribing physician’s request. The body accepts these hormones as its own, resulting in quick relief and little, if any, side effects.
Synthetic hormones, however, do not share the same chemical structure to the body’s naturally produced hormones. Due to this unnatural, chemical difference, synthetic hormones do not act, nor do they perform the same, when introduced into the body. The body must convert them for utilization, potentially leading to adverse side effects, health issues and disease.
According to the FDA, synthetic hormone therapy can increase the risk of severe conditions including breast cancer, strokes, gall bladder disease and heart disease. Studies have shown bioidentical hormones were found to be more effective in reducing long term risks associated with heart, bone and brain health, than their synthetic hormone counterparts. More importantly, bioidentical hormone therapy may even decrease the risk of heart disease and breast cancer—the very diseases that synthetic hormones have been shown to cause an increase risk. Bioidentical hormones are superior for symptom relief and disease prevention, on a molecular level, with far fewer adverse side effects.

MEDICALLY SUPERVISED WEIGHT LOSS
Dieting is tough and it’s something millions of people struggle with their whole lives mostly unsuccessfully. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry, rift with fads, pills, prepackaged, chemically laden “foods” – so why is everyone still on a diet? Because fads don’t work. When a patient undertakes a medically supervised weight loss plan, they are provided a safe, monitored, effective protocol that delivers results, while incorporating the experience of a medical professional. Having that personal contact ensures a consistent approach to long term weight loss results.
At MedSpa on 5th, we utilize blood-work, symptoms, metabolic rate, body analysis and a scientifically proven treatment plan.

THE hCG DIET
In the 1950s, Dr. Albert TW Simeons, an endocrinologist and recipient of Red Cross Order of Merit, studied the effects of a natural hormone in the body known as Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG). His findings led to the discovery that hCG could accelerate the mobilization of excess fat stores from the body, when combined with a precise and very low caloric diet. The fat stores metabolized as energy, also allowing for a feeling of satiety, during the low caloric intake, resulting in less feelings of hunger or deprivation. More importantly, this weight loss did not waste muscle, continuing the raising of the body’s metabolism. With the introduction of hCG, on average, the body would release 1500-4000 calories daily, preventing feelings of hunger.
The hCG Diet, when medically supervised and performed correctly helps to increase sluggish metabolism (your body’s furnace), reducing feelings of hunger and food cravings, as well as stave off “emotional eating”. Only whole foods are consumed, reducing the reliance and addictive nature to chemicals found in commercially prepared foods.
Our 3 Phase hCG Diet Program is all inclusive and begins with laboratory testing, weekly scheduled visits to monitor weight loss, body analysis and includes energy boosting, fat metabolizing lipotropic vitamin injections. A complete plan and medication are included, formulations simplified and we guide you through your entire weight loss process, including stabilization and reintroduction of foods, to deliver long term weight loss.
Our office provides Lipotropic and B12 injections for overall health, that are available without medical weight loss programs. We also carry pharmaceutical grade supplements that may be purchased individually or at a discount, with one of our membership programs.
